  1. What a blow! Maybe I shouldn't ignore the health checks my local docs keep offering me.
    Take it easy now, and everything else comes after. All the best .

    No you shouldn’t. Turned out I had high blood pressure.

    It’s not uncommon, mine got to 224 / 127 and was rising by the day.

    I’m clear now, on two lots of tablets and plenty of exercise.

    Rich. Jules. & Jolene! As Vinnyboy says, you shouldn’t ignore the health checks on offer, I didn’t and still ended up I’ll for a year.

    I was put on 3 tablets for high blood pressure when I hit 40

    I went for routine check up, felt fine and they made me lie down and would not let me leave until it came down.

    My old man had a choice of a blue one of those with some poptop conversion or other, a Fiat Amigo camper, or the van I now have....1978, Crwys Road Cardiff dealership.

    He chose the Westy.

    Funny how things turn out.

    Wonder if the Fiat Amigo or Toyota Hiace forums have more stable characters on them than the incumbents here...

  16. Rollered a coat on this morning
    It’s not gone very well
    Reactions in places,flies and bits in the paint
    I’m not aiming for perfection but I’m not happy with how this has turned out.
    I’ll have to leave it to dry flat it a bit and give it another coat.

    Everyone loves paint hey! I still have the legs of a tiny fly embedded in one of the cab door edges. I managed to wet sand his body out but didn't want to go much further that close to the edge of the panel.
